LeBron James does it all without Luka in our Wizards vs. Lakers predictions and NBA picks for March 30.
No Luka Doncic in the Lakers lineup throws the switch for LeBron James. The veteran forward finds the "Fountain of Youth" without Luka, and Jason Logan likes this combo prop for LeBron vs. the Wizards.
What happens when a star collapses? A black hole. What happens when an NBA star is suspended? A betting black hole. The Los Angeles Lakers will be without Luka Doncic when they host the Washington Wizards, and my Wizards vs. Lakers predictions look to LeBron James, whose role will be expanded big time sans the Slovenian superstar. Doncic is the primary ball handler, utilizing his gravity to make everyone around him better. Whenever Doncic does sit out,But rather than just picking up the scoring slack, James lifts the entire Lakers rotation with his playmaking. His potential assists and rebounding chance metrics surge, and the 41-year-old finds the"Fountain of Youth" for 48 minutes.In the last four games without Luka in the lineup, James has handed out 12, 10, 10, and eight assists. His projections range from 8.0 to 9.0 dimes against a Washington defense watching opponents record an assist on 65.2% of their successful field goals . Passing prowess isn’t the only area James sees juiced whenever L.A. is Luka-less. In the last four games without Doncic, the veteran forward has cleaned the glass for rebounding totals of 10, nine, seven, and six.Today’s models have James hauling in between seven and eight boards vs. the worst rebounding team in the NBA . The Wizards give up a league-high 57 total rebounds per outing to foes and enter tonight with a patchwork lineup.James is already averaging 13.5 combined rebounds + assists this month with Doncic in action, and should his projections pan out, he’ll once again tally 17+ in those combined stats to fill the Luka void.The Lakers are clinging to the No. 3 seed in the Western Conference with Denver, Minnesota, and Houston breathing down their necks. With LeBron James stepping up in Luka Doncic’s absence, L.A. still has more than enough to put the Wizards away.While James does most of his work in passing and rebounding, he’s still a threat to score. With Doncic out, there are 3-point looks up for grabs. LeBron hasn’t made two or more triples in five straight games, but has made two 3-pointers in two of the last four outings without Luka. He’ll get his looks from long range tonight.: Our team of experts has thoroughly researched and handpicked each product that appears on our website.
